Last night I was passing channels and the BBC news channel caught my attention, particularly a news about four people that were arrest for abusing patients in a mental facility in Briston (UK). These guys were the ones in charge of taking care of people with autism and learning disabilities, but there were rumors of abuse, so a BBC undercover reporter caught them on film on witch you can see how they are mistreated to the point of torture “During five weeks spent filming undercover, Panorama's reporter captured footage of some of the hospital's most vulnerable patients being repeatedly pinned down, slapped, dragged into showers while fully clothed, taunted and teased” (BBC news). I was shock with this because is fully known how badly this people were treat years ago, but we sort of believe that this things do not happened any more, we feel safer living in a time in which autism and learning disabilities are well treated, but we keep hearing cases like this. We, humans really have problems with power and dealing with what is different, even if most people won’t react like this in cases like the one in Briston, there are other ones that take advantage of being in charge and use that power ageist people that cannot defend and are different from the rest, those guys are just cowards and as you can see this things happen in any society.
For more information on this, here is the link for the complete news and the video took by the reporter.
